Blackberry Security: Experts Warn Enterprises About the Risks of Poor Planning and Implementation
[author:Claudiu Popa Public time:Jun 6, 2007]

Informatica has introduced a series of services ranging from implementation reviews, risk assessments and strategic planning to network connectivity, third-party agreements and disaster recovery planning solutions. Informatica president and Chief Security Officer Claudiu Popa said: “The goal of the new service line called - FlexSecure BB - is to bring the Blackberry’s risk posture in line with the rest of the business continuity efforts within the enterprise. Without a sound communications infrastructure, a business continuity strategy can be completely ineffective.” FlexSecure is the company’s line of information risk consulting services, including FlexSecure Verify risk assessments and security project management.

In the past 24 months, organizations have witnessed and experienced Blackberry outages that showcased their dependence on the technology and the importance of proper planning and implementation. Informatica Research, a division of Informatica Security Corporation has published the most complete introduction to Blackberry enterprise information risk available to date. The document is freely available from the company’s Security Library.

Organizations wishing to use the document internally, for strategic direction and planning are welcome to do so. Informatica’s Security Associate, Andrew Seto recommends a top-down approach to Blackberry infrastructure, BES and policy planning: “To create a structure that is both dependable and efficient, there is no substitute for expert design and proper integration within the existing network infrastructure and 3rd party service provider space”. Informatica’s service page is directly available along with BlackBerry BlackOut: Protective Best Practices Against Disruptions of a Pervasive Communications Technology Infrastructure With a Potential Global Economic Impact.
